anyway welcome to the club....another proud owner of XPS M1210 reporting in... rclxms.gif
congrats...congrats... rclxms.gif
yeah!...no problem being different from others...with this M1210 being classic,made it more and more valuable and unique... brows.gif

owh!...do you mind to share the changes color of your palmrest?...did you called Dell and talk about this problem? hmm.gif
*
haven call up dell yet.
does their complete cover warranty cover his type of cases?
the colour changes from silver to dark silver den to black n also there is some scratches due to my long "fingernails" *din know fingernails can scratch off the paint... sweat.gif sweat.gif
maybe due to long time usage n sweat from my palm reacts with the organic paint.
i might consider to get those laptop skins to stick it around the palm rest area.


btw for any DELL users who did format their laptop without switching on their bluetooth and cant be detected by windows after installation,
there is no need to reformat ur laptop again thou.
i have found a file from our friendly google that can force detect our bluetooth if windows cant.
not sure how to upload it up here thou....any ideas?
i found the file in some dell websites from other country which is not english sweat.gif

Complete Cover is the warranty.
Just call up DELL n provide them your problem n details.
They will check wether u are eligible to get a replacement done.
very efficient thou...

here is my experience b4,
i downloaded a specific file thru ares n my connection keeps on dc.
but if i did not switch on ares my connection is fine all the way.
So are you downloading anything when the problem occur?

Besides this,
hardware auto gone disconnected mostly happends to near faulty hardware.
my old cd-rom goes undetectable each time i inserted a disc to read n need a restart to get it detected n eventually the cd-rom dies in the next few weeks.
So maybe ur hardware is juz telling u that its gonna die soon?
lolz...

No worries, dell complete cover is here for u happy.gif

anyone knows the contact number for our XPS customer service center?
my laptop now can last for less than 20min on battery...
darn its wear level is 86% already and my XPS is only 11 months old.

further more the switch to on the wireless and bluetooth is loose already. my bluetooth and wireless keeps on switch on and off by itself.

wad a dissapointment towards DELL hi-end model laptops....
